Michael Cline "Fifth Column"
Marc Jancou Contemporary
This event has ended.
Marc Jancou Contemporary announces the opening of Fifth Column by Michael Cline. This is the artist's first solo show with the gallery and will feature a series of new paintings and soft sculptures. A concurrent exhibition of pastels will be on view at Daniel Reich Gallery. The exhibition is accompanied by the artist's first monograph, which is published by JRP Ringier and includes an essay by Kathy Grayson and an interview by Matthew Higgs.
The title of the show Fifth Column - an expression used to signify an uprising from within - is mirrored by the subtle sense of turmoil present in Cline's loosely defined narratives. Often forlorn and down on their luck, the characters in Cline's paintings are exposed in private moments, providing the viewer with a voyeuristic glimpse into lives on the fringe of society. Cline's paintings are engaged in a contemporary social critique in which ambiguous narratives are supported by poignant details, obscuring as much as they reveal.
